Who is set up to Succeed the Most (LA 720)

Transcript:

Steven Butala:                   Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:                            Hello.

Steven Butala:                   Welcome to the Land Academy show, entertaining land investment talk. I’m Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:                            And I am Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California.

Steven Butala:                   Today Jill and I talk about whose set up to succeed the most in this crazy business we’ve chosen for ourselves.

Jill DeWit:                            It’s not the guy with the most money.

Steven Butala:                   Nope.

Jill DeWit:                            It’s not the person … I’m trying to think of another funny … What do you think? I think people think the most money is going to succeed, and it’s not.

Steven Butala:                   Yeah, it’s not the dreamy … it’s not any of that stuff. It’s all set up for biz.

Jill DeWit:                            And it’s not the one that walks around with the most positive attitude. Could you imagine?

Steven Butala:                   Life is beautiful, man.

Jill DeWit:                            Oh, that’s okay. Just write him a check.

Steven Butala:                   Don’t get mad at that guy, he’s okay.

Jill DeWit:                            Money solves it all.

Steven Butala:                   God, we live in Southern California.

Jill DeWit:                            I know.

Steven Butala:                   I’m a little tired of that.

Jill DeWit:                            Hey-

Steven Butala:                   There’s a happy medium to everything. I guess that’s what we’re going to talk about.

Jill DeWit:                            Yes.

Steven Butala:                   Before we get into it, let’s take a question posted by one of our members on the LandAcademy.com online community. It’s free. You’re just gonna … Gimme it. Give it to me.

Jill DeWit:                            No.

Steven Butala:                   [crosstalk 00:01:11] just a second ago.

Jill DeWit:                            David asks, “1. What criteria do you all use to identify motivated land sellers?” I think the go-to is tax delinquent.

Steven Butala:                   Oh, I can-

Jill DeWit:                            Are there any other search filters people have had success with?

Steven Butala:                   David-

Jill DeWit:                            Number two …

Steven Butala:                   Wait a minute.

Jill DeWit:                            I don’t think this person is a member.

Steven Butala:                   I don’t think so, either.

Jill DeWit:                            This is fun. I like this game. Hey. Number two, “To get tax delinquent lists,” because David’s hung up on this. He doesn’t know us. “I know direct from the county is the best and most accurate approach,” David really does not know us.

Steven Butala:                   Oh, David.

Jill DeWit:                            We can really help you, David. “I’d like to work in a few counties and move around regularly, trying different areas.” This would be extremely time consuming, that’s one of the reasons we don’t do it. “So, I’m wondering if a lot of you just skip the county and go directly to a provider,” see, this is how I know he’s not a member.

Steven Butala:                   Yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            “Like, List Source [inaudible 00:02:13] 24/7, or something alike. If so,
